proposal type: Competent authority response
response: "Response by the Ministry of Labour, Family and Social Affairs\n Unfortunately,\
  \ we cannot take on board the proposal, which is well intentioned, as the introduction\
  \ of this form of supervision would in practice represent too great a departure\
  \ from the established and regulated supervision procedures. Supervision of the\
  \ fulfilment of the obligations of unemployed persons is also carried out by the\
  \ Employment Service, whose powers will be strengthened and more precisely defined\
  \ under the new Labour Market Regulation Act (LMRA). The LISA also overhauls the\
  \ area of supervision of the fulfilment of obligations by unemployed persons, which\
  \ will undoubtedly contribute to more effective verification of compliance with\
  \ the obligations of unemployed persons. We also see a more appropriate solution\
  \ to this issue in the staffing and professional strengthening of the Labour Inspectorate,\
  \ whereas the proposed regulation would require (re)more extensive changes and amendments\
  \ to both substantive and procedural regulations. At the same time, we believe that\
  \ the introduction of supervision in the form proposed by the proponent would also\
  \ lead to many unpleasant and undesirable consequences, as the individual citizen\
  \ is not qualified to assess and evaluate whether the recipient of unemployment\
  \ benefits is fulfilling his/her obligations under the law and other regulations;\
  \ lastly, the proposed arrangements (not least because of existing interpersonal\
  \ relations based, inter alia, on personal, motivationally conflicting perceptions)\
  \ would be likely to lead to an excessive number of (also unfounded and unverifiable)\
  \ applications, which the competent authorities would not be able to deal with adequately\
  \ within the time limits laid down by the rules, owing to understaffing. Accordingly,\
  \ the specific proposal cannot be followed.  "
